[develop] Bug fix for FV3_GFS_v17_p8 physics suite

[EdwardSnyder-NOAA]

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:

A SRW App user noticed an issue with the FV3_GFS_v17_p8 physics suite, that the surface temperatures were dropping unrealistically throughout the forecast. This PR addresses that issue by updating the FV3_GFS_v17_p8 physics suite in the parm/FV3.input.yml file.

This issue was discovered in the SRW App v2.2.0, but since the FV3_GFS_v17_p8 physics suite is not officially supported for the release, the change will only go into in the develop branch.

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• This change requires a documentation update

TESTS CONDUCTED:

I used a WE2E test to ensure the changes worked. The experiment can be found on Derecho here: /glade/work/esnyder/ufs-case-studies/expt_dirs/fan-update-3/grid_RRFS_CONUS_25km_ics_FV3GFS_lbcs_FV3GFS_suite_GFS_v17_p8_plot

@EdwardSnyder-NOAA -

As discussed at the meeting today, I will submit the Jenkins tests, but manually submit the fundamental tests on the platforms that have no allocations/fairshare.

[mkavulich]

Thanks for your work in fixing this issue!

The Jenkins tests have successfully passed on Derecho and Hercules. One test failed for both the Gaea and Jet tests.

For Jet, the grid_RRFS_CONUS_25km_ics_FV3GFS_lbcs_FV3GFS_suite_GFS_v15p2 WE2E test failed in the run_fcst task. Using rocotorewind/rocotoboot allowed the test to pass:

On Gaea, the grid_RRFS_CONUScompact_3km_ics_HRRR_lbcs_RAP_suite_RRFS_v1beta WE2E test also failed in the run_fcst task. Again, the use of rocotorewind/rocotoboot allowed this test to successfully run:

As expected, the Jenkins tests are sitting in queue on both Hera and Orion. Thankfully, I was able to successfully run the WE2E coverage tests on Hera Intel using the Rocky 8 nodes:

Given that the Orion Functional Workflow Task Test phase successfully passed (this test runs the default community WE2E test), as well as the default nco WE2E test in the coverage testing, I will go ahead and move forward with merging this work now.
